BOSTON, Sept. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumer-grade robots have much potential beyond trivial tasks in users' home. A recent study from the User Experience Strategies (UXS) service at Strategy Analytics "UXS Technology Planning Report: Robotics", investigating the needs, behaviors and expectations of consumers regarding consumer-grade robots, has found broader ranges of movement, addition of features such as arms and hands and modular elements to enhance task flexibility, will allow robots to become true assistants in users' lives.

Tasks which can be accomplished with arms and hands are more desirable to users because they are usually more time intensive than tasks such as vacuuming and mowing.

Broader ranges of movement are idealized because they provide robots with new ways to go about their tasks. Robots on wheels are perceived to be quick and thus suitable for security and cleaning devices; bipedal robots can traverse obstacles; while robots that fly can assist users by providing aerial perspectives.

Wearable robots would allow consumers to excel at tasks that would be otherwise impossible for them to do e.g. intense physical labor. They attach to the user directly, augmenting their ability to do strenuous tasks such as heavy lifting.

At times when it is inconvenient or impossible to venture out and retrieve things such as groceries, robots designed for retrieval can be deployed instead. 'Last Mile Retrieval' can be utilized by a user's robot to collect important items from a designated or sponsored location.

"Robots designed to perform just one task will gradually become obsolete as a user's requirements change. Robots that are modular can be equipped with the latest accessories to expand their functionality, increasing their longevity and adaptability" commented Mathew Alton, Analyst and report author. "In addition, robots that have the ability to 'learn' unpredictable tasks through artificial intelligence (AI) would also be able to adapt to a user's changing requirements."

Chris Schreiner, Director of Syndicated Research, UXIP, added, "A robot that can be physically altered to perform a myriad of different tasks will be easier to sell than one that does only one predictable task. A functioning 'base' robot would encourage an ecosystem of add-ons and accessories, providing a revenue source over time."

There's no doubt that blockchain technology is a powerful tool for the enterprise, but bringing it mainstream has not been without challenges. As VP of Technology at 8base, Andrei is working to make developing a blockchain application accessible to anyone. With better tools, entrepreneurs and developers can work together to quickly and effectively launch applications that integrate smart contracts and blockchain technology. This will ultimately accelerate blockchain adoption on a global scale.

It cannot be overseen or regulated by any one administrator, like a government or bank. Currently, there is no government regulation on them which also means there is no government safeguards over them. Although many are looking at Bitcoin to put money into, it would be wise to proceed with caution. Regular central banks are watching it and deciding whether or not to make them illegal (Criminalize them) and therefore make them worthless and eliminate them as competition. ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) are something most have no idea as to what it means and how you utilize it. Where is the "Stamp of Approval" or "Stamp of Legitimacy" on some of these Bitcoin websites (how do you know you are not dealing with a scammer?)
